the TV serial came out and I loved what they did with it. I read all of them once, then a couple of them over and have now listened to them all. It was a wonderful group, the characters were so filled out. I read Terms Of Endearment and was stunned how different the movie was from the book. There were a few others I enjoyed as well but Lonesome Dove will always hold my heart.
